At each side of the dough-boards. compartment, T, is formed in the topframe for receiving rolling-pins, &c. They are closed by the hingedboard E.

By means of the leaf D, the board E, and the cover Q, the cabinet can beclosed, so that the dough-boards and the receptacles cannot get dusty orsoiled. "When the cabinet is closed, it can also be used as a table.
